Find the slope of the line determined by each equation.

When given an equation of a line, put the formula in slope intercept form:, m=slope and (0,b) is the y-intercept.


The slope is m=1/2

y=(x-4)/2
This equation is the equation of a straight line in the slope intercept form.
The standered form of a line is, y=mx+c, where "m" is the slope and "c" is the y-intercept.
The given equation can be rewrite as,
y=x/2-4/2
While comparing these two equations, we have, m=1/2 and c=-2
So slope of the given equation is 1/2
